The 50-round Dot Torture drill is a great test of general marksmanship. It can prove encouraging or humbling for anyone, depending on the distance chosen for firing. It’s a drill I use to re-focus after I’ve been away from the range for a while, as it guides you through all the basics, multiple times, and gives clear feedback about where any deficits lie.
It’s good to carry a pen to mark any errant holes between strings of fire, to eliminate confusion as you go along. Otherwise, the feedback aspect of the drill is lost.
Drawing from a holster is prescribed, but if you don’t have a holster, fire from the ready position of your choice on the start command or signal.
The drill requires ten two-inch circles, or “dots,” numbered in succession. From a minimum of three yards, or five to seven if you’re confident in the basics, fire according to this sequence:
